WVsig: I never said anything about carrying it in the holster cocked....the article stated that you draw your gun first then cock the hammer. As you stated, the firing pin safety keeps it from firing if dropped....it should work just fine to prevent the gun from firing when the gun is gripped in your hand with your finger off the trigger.

Question for all: the US military teaches that the M9 pistol is to be carried chamber-empty. Do they also teach soldiers, when they chamber a round in combat, to decock before firing so the first round is DA?.....
